Growth Drivers

High Demand for Uninterrupted and Reliable Power Supply and Heavy Deployment of Diesel Gensets

India diesel genset market witnesses a significant boost from the increasing demand for uninterrupted and reliable power supply, driving the heavy deployment of DG (diesel generator) sets. With frequent electricity outages and grid failures, diesel gensets serve as essential backup power sources in various sectors like industries, commercial establishments, healthcare facilities, data centers, and residential buildings, ensuring continuous operations during disruptions. Moreover, the Government of India's emphasis on improving electricity access in remote and rural areas further contributes to the market's growth. India, a rapidly growing economy with diverse energy requirements, experiences a significant transformation in its electricity sector, with diesel gensets widely used as backup power sources in homes and businesses. The fiercely competitive Indian diesel generator industry attracts both domestic and foreign companies offering diverse goods and services to cater to the growing market demand.

Restraints

Growing Trend of Renewable Power Generation

The market's growth in the forecast period is expected to be restrained by the increasing renewable installed capacity and supportive government policies promoting greener energy. However, the power capacity additions in India did not meet the government's expectations, leading them to take measures to boost the sector by incorporating various thermal and renewable projects. The installed renewable energy capacity, including large hydro, witnessed a significant increase from 76.37 GW in March 2014 to 167.75 GW in December 2022, showing a growth of approximately 2.20 times. In FY 2022-23, the country's total renewable energy generation reached 203,552 million units (MU) with a notable annual growth rate of 19% compared to the previous year, according to the Central Electricity Authority. Also, in February 2022, the ban on diesel generator sets in Delhi-NCR was lifted by a subcommittee of the Centre's air quality panel, following a thorough assessment of the air quality situation.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Diesel Genset Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the India diesel genset market. The nationwide lockdowns and restrictions disrupted manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain activities, leading to project delays and cancellations. The economic downturn and financial uncertainties resulted in reduced investment and deferred purchase decisions, affecting market growth. The closure of businesses and industries during the pandemic decreased the immediate demand for diesel gensets. However, the pandemic also highlighted the importance of reliable power backup in critical sectors, fostering interest in genset installations. As the economy gradually recovered, the market experienced a rebound, driven by the need for uninterrupted power supply and preparedness for future disruptions.

Segmental Coverage

India Diesel Genset Market – By KVA Ratings

By KVA ratings, the India diesel genset market is divided into 5–75 KVA, 75.1–375 KVA, 375.1–750 KVA, 750.1–1,000 KVA, 1,000.1–2,000 KVA, and Above 2,000 KVA segments. The 75.1–375 KVA segment holds the highest share in the India diesel genset market by KVA ratings during the forecast period. The segment finds frequent application in commercial buildings, shopping malls, hotels, large-scale enterprises, and data centers, serving as a reliable backup power solution. These gensets are preferred over low KVA diesel gensets due to their higher capacity and capability to handle larger power demands. The growing adoption of diesel generators in India, particularly in the medium KVA capacity range, is driven by the country's increasing energy demand and unstable power infrastructure. Meanwhile, the 5–75 KVA segment is expected to witness fastest growth rate during the forecast period. These generators serve a wide range of purposes, including providing backup power for households, small businesses, rural electrification, and agricultural needs. They are cost-effective, easy to install, and offer a reliable power source in areas with intermittent electricity supply. Low KVA diesel gensets are favored as backup power options due to their affordability, user-friendly operation, and portability. They play a crucial role in supplying power to rural areas and small businesses while meeting the country's increasing energy demand in the coming years.

India Diesel Genset Market – By Vertical

Based on vertical, the India diesel genset market is divided into Commercial, Industrial, and Residential segments. The commercial segment is expected to dominate the India diesel genset market by vertical during the forecast period, driven by rapid growth in the services sector. Diesel generators are vital in ensuring uninterrupted power supply for various commercial establishments, including hospitals, hotels, restaurants, IT and telecommunication centers, banking, and insurance. Finance, real estate, and professional services contributed significantly to India's gross value added (GVA) in fiscal year 2022, comprising 53% of the total GVA. The IT and business services market is among the fastest growing within the services sector, projected to exceed USD 19.93 billion by 2025. Diesel generators find extensive use in healthcare services, especially hospitals, to avoid intermittent power disruptions. The Government of India plans to increase public health spending to 2.5% of the country's GDP by 2025.

India Diesel Genset Market – By Region

Regionally, the India diesel genset market is divided into North India, South India, East India, and West India. South India dominates the India diesel genset market during the forecast period. Southern India, comprising Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, faces expanding energy consumption and inconsistent power supply, leading to widespread use of diesel generator sets.
